MSI 6670 MD2GD3 causing mouse problems in Windows 7 x64

Hello! I bought a new PC and I`m experiencing a very annoying bug. My configuration is: CPU: AMD FX 8350, Motherboard: Asrock 990FX Extreme 3, 16 Gb Corsair DDR3 1600, Kingstong HyperkX 3K SSD + WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD, Graphics card: MSI 6670 MD2GD3 and a 550W PSU.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it. Everything loads up very smooth and fast but the mouse is driving me mad! After alot of testing with different mouses and different components i changed the graphic card with another one, from a friend (different brand). The problem went away... until i put my HD 6670 back in. What happens exacly is... the mouse behaves as if it sticks on clickable objects (links, buttons, etc). It lags for a fraction of a second than jumps to where i am trying to point it. It also freezez for a short moment when i open some programs. It doesn't do this everytime but it's very annoying... it ruins the whole experience of using a new PC I have all the latest drivers and BIOS updates... The temperature of the system is more than ok... I can't find another explanation apart from the video drivers... Can anyone pls help me?

The other video card was an old Radeon X800 GTO on PICE. The PSU is actually 520W, it's Booster SPS-520... i think it's a normal ATX psu. I am begining to think it's more and more a driver related problem... X64 driver problem to be more exact (i tested the video card on a Windows 7 32 bits setup and everything was ok). But on my 64 bits Windows, when i try running a program that is just a bit demanding for the first time... the mouse freezez for half a second while the program is loading. For example... after i turn on the PC... (i give it time to load up)... when i launch Google Chrome the mouse freezes for half a second. I did alot of testing around (i`m obsessed with this problem ) and it turns out that the lag is much smaller if only one dispay is connected to the PC. Usually i have my tv connected to the PC as well, through a HDMI cable... and it's set to duplicate. Anyway, like i was saying, the freeze take less time when only one display connected, but it still freezes :(. Another strange thing: before instaling the video driver, when it's runing on Standar VGA driver, i can open Google Chrome for example and there's no freeze, everything loads up perfectly :| Is there anyway to fix this? Do u think the store i bought my video card from would accept it back if i pay off the difference and buy a more high end card from them? :(

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, Mouse problem & Video off problem solved!!!

I find the following information that I collected very interesting at the very least...
Here goes...
The video off problem that I was having was directly linked to the mouse. Here, let me explain the video off problem. In the BIOS Have the Standby mode set to S3. The problem occurred when I started windows, then went into standby, then started back up, then restarted the computer, the monitor would act as if it were in sleep mode, or rather there was no signal being sent to the monitor. Well the odd way I fixed that is by plugging in a standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. Also this fixed the issue with the mouse sometimes not working in windows.
Here is how I tested.
Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse, PS/2 & USB= failed.
Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse, USB= failed.
Microsoft Cordless Ball Mouse, PS/2= failed.
Standard Artec (Cheapy brand) Ball Mouse (With no wheel), PS/2= All issues fixed, and passed.
When I said failed I do not mean they didn't work, I mean they sometimes didn't work and also caused the Video off problem after restarting the computer.
Obviously it isn't the ports (PS/2 or USB) that are the problem, it is more like the mouse itself, and the amount of buttons in particular. As you can see above the only mouse that works correctly is the one that only has 2 buttons, the rest has 3 or more buttons along with a Wheel. The MX700 has 8 buttons + wheel, WOW!
Anyways I figure out it was the mouse, and not the memory.
Obviously MSI needs to make a patch for this mouse problem.
I'm still having a hard time believing that the mouse caused the video not to work, but it is true! I spend well over 5 hours testing this crap. Every time with the mice with more then 3 buttons it messed up, and every time with the 2 button old fashion mouse it worked flawlessly!
MSI, get to work on a new BIOS to fix this mess!!! :]

you can get some trouble if you do it the way i did it.
i was in windows surfing and the pointer just jumped all over the screen.
when i looked on the other side under a table a friends little kid played with the usn mouse. )
bye
LOL, that isn't what I'm talking about.
There seems to be a problem with my motherboard accepting mice with more then 2 buttons. It works the first time, but if you restart the computer, the video goes off. If you have both installed, it still messed up.

Problems deploying Windows 7 x64 computers with more than 8GB RAM

SCCM 2012 R2 CU1
Windows 7 x64
We have a weird problem after upgrading from SP1 to R2 CU1. We have built a Windows 7 64 bit image with the latest updates (currently September 2014 updates). It deploys fine to all computers. But after some days – don’t know exactly – guess after 4-7 days
- we start getting errors on computers with more than 8 GB of RAM. The errors just start out of the blue. We didn't change TS, image or driver package.
The error shows in 3 different ways – depending of the computer model.
1) BSOD – STOP 0x000000F4. Disk error.
2) Task Sequence error 0x87D00269 when installing the first Application in TS. The error seems to have something to do with Management Point not found.
3) Task Sequence simply stops after installing CMclient. No errors - it simply stops.
For instance we get the BSOD on the Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p. But on the ThinkCentre M83 we get the TS error 0x87D00269. M93p and M83 uses the same driver package. They consequently fail every time after the error has begun. If we reduce (remove physically)
the memory to max. 8GB of RAM, they successfully run the Task Sequence. We get the above errors on both Lenovo and HP machines with more than 8GB.
I made a copy of the production TS and started testing. I created a new driver package for M93p/M83. It contains only the NIC drivers. Now M93p an M83 successfully finishes the TS. Adding sata or chipset or MEI/SOL drivers to the package I get the 0x87D00269
error on both m93p and M83. At least not the BSOD on the M93p ;-)
Tried setting SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout to 180 in the TS. Also tried putting in a 5 minute break before installing the first Application in the TS. Also tried putting in SMSMP=mp1.mydomain in the installation properties for the CMclient. It is still
the same problem.
Investigating the smsts.log on a computer with the 0x87D00269 error.

Hopefully this is a bug in translating the errorcodes? Just to be sure I checked all the SCCM serviceaccounts and none of them have expired passwords. And again why only on computers with more than 8GB RAM.
Anyone else had problems rolling computers with more than 8GB og RAM?
Why does this happens after a few days? To begin with, it runs just perfect and then starts failing on all machines with more than 8GB. Without a change in TS, image and driverpackage. We have seen this pattern for the last 3 month after
updating our image with the latest Windows Updates. It all started after updating from SP1 to R2 CU1.
Why does it only affect machines with more than 8GB RAM?
How to get rid of the 0x87D00269 error?
Seems to be somehow related to driver installation mechanism in SCCM in combination with Windows 7 64 bit, +8GB RAM and SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 or perhaps just R2.
Any help or hints would be appreciated!
Thanks
Anders

We have the same workaround, using a x64 boot image resolved all our issues with WinPE 5.0.
Machines with >4GB of RAM
Lenovo ThinkPad T540p failed applying drivers with 80040005
Black screen/white cursor issues intermittently
No updates from Microsoft, they are still looking through the logs, but we have updated our boot images and all is well now. Our case it still open with Microsoft, they are researching the logs.

Lenovo y510p audio problem on Windows 10 x64

Hi i am using lenovo y510p and i having some problem.After installing Windows 10 x64 I can`t use the 5.1 speakers connected via optics. At sound check box gives "Failed to play test sound"/
To solve these problem I tried:
1. Reinstalt drivers Realtek (tried as a version from official Lenovo suport and the latest version from Realtek);
2.Plug and unplug optics (Realtek Didgital Output) in "Sound";
3.Restart the Windows Audio service.4. Reinstalt chipset and audio drivers.
Now the external speakers working in stereo .

The drivers listed for under Y510p was not the lastest for our audio hardware, hence why I gave you a link to (what I think) is the latest version. Those should have no problem working under Win 10 (and maybe Win 8.1).
Y510p has a "weak" audio chipset in the sense that it isn't handled well by the drivers providided on Realtek's homepage.

I think new mobo (MSI 770T-C45), is causing sleep problem in windows 7.

Hey all, I'm new and first time buyer of MSI mobo.... Finally got way from Biostar and Asus...lol Anyways, I upgraded to a 770T-c45 and so far so good. One problem been having is my PC wont sleep, monitor does but not pc. Before I upgraded everything was fine, so my only isolated cause is to be the motherboard, I think..
I've tried everything in power options.....geesh... I've gone into bios tried a few things there also, but still no change. I wonder if the APS thingy is causing this???
Anyone having this problem or maybe help with a solution.
Btw...i have this XCLEO WInd tunnel tower, and it has 2 huge (super bright) Blue fans on the side and it's really nice to get those to sleep along with pc..
thanks everyone.

Did you set the ACPI standby state to S3? If not, go to Power Management in the bios and change ACPI Standby State to S3.

GeForce FX 5900 drivers causing mouse problems

This is a very strange problem, sometimes my mouse cursor seems to stop moving, but I can still move the mouse aorund and click on things if when I see where it highlights them. This happens with 3 different mice all the same result 2 the same manufacturer and 1 different it also doens't matter what drivers I use for both mouse and vid card. I've tried MSI, Nvidia, and Omeaga drivers for the vid card, and tried stock windows, microsoft, and logitech drivers for the corresponding mice. Now if I let it sit long enough like that it gives me a BSOD that states the problem resides in nv4_mini.sys. does anyone know anyway around this or should I contact Nvidia directly? Thanks in advance Ryan

Camaro Guy > Im using a ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard
I thought I may have been my PSU that was not powerfull enough (300W, I have 2 extra 80mm fans installed also) But after seeing that you use a 500W+ PSU, that cant be the problem.
Have you tryed using a older forceware driver ?
And btw, im refuseing to degrade my hw accel. in propeties, might as well have bought a Fx5200

Charger causes mouse problems

Hello - I guess this is both two questions and a warning. I use a 11" MacBook Air with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, purchased in October 2011. I am in a town in Kenya with no Apple Store. My charger got fried during some power fluctuations yesterday and I needed a new one quickly for a variety of reasons. In town I found a knock-off that seemed (and seems) to work fine with respect to charging. Got home, began using computer while charging. Within a few minutes I noticed my mouse (the mouse built into the computer) was behaving oddly and not working so well. Within an hour it was barely working at all. Restarting helped the situation for only a few minutes. I tried unplugging the charger and, voilà, the mouse worked (and works as I now write) perfectly. So the warning … you can figure that. The questions: How could a battery charger affect a mouse? If I charge only while not using the computer can I expect any problems? Thanks.

1. Restart
2. Shut down the computer.
    Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
    System Preferences > Point & Click
    Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after testing.
3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.
4. Reset PRAM:   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
5. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
6. Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Click the Spotlight -the magnifying glass icon- in the menu bar. Enter Disk utility in the box.
    Select Disk Utility. When the Disk utility window opens up,
    select Macintosh HD, then First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk Permission
    Ignore the time remaining estimate.
    Last 1 minute may take longer.

Printer causing mouse problem?

I have a Beige, but recently was given an early G3 iMac, 233mhz processor, 288mb ram.
I successfully installed OS 9.2.2 (starting with an OS 9.1 iMac disk..........the iMac had 8.6 on it) and updated the firmware; removed the hard drive, hooked it up to my Beige and copied some applications onto it.
Everything works fine, except:
When my Brother printer (USB) is turned on, whether plugged directly into an original USB port or through a powered hub, the mouse icon still shows and moves, but clicking it does nothing.
This does not happen with the Beige. The printer works just fine plugged into the USB card or hub.
I have tried 2 mice and two keyboards; I have removed all the Brother software and extensions from the hard drive and reinstalled from the Brother CD. I have gone to Brother's website and looked for updates....nothing.
Any ideas?

I'd check out the Brother CD for any 'Read Me' files which may list incompatibilities or odd behavior's.
Um... clutching at straws now but... any uneccessary printer extensions loading? Like Laserwriter etc? Maybe trash the mouse or OS preferences? I doubt they're the culprits but it's not like you'll be killing anything by trying it.
Perhaps a bare mimimum extension setup with just the OS & Brother driver/extension to see if the same problem occurs or.... I don't know, is it possible to print without the brother driver? I know the Mac OS has a standard printer driver but I thought that was just for the laserwriter and for background issues. I may be totally barking up the wrong tree on that.
In fact, I'm sure that's the silliest idea I've ever suggested here. I'm getting forgetful, wasn't it all easier when we used calculators and typewriters like Angela Lansbury?

Magic mouse problems with windows 7

Magic Mouse works in Windows 7 x64... Until Reboot

So I've tried every troubleshooting solution I could find and after hours of fiddling around, and I finally got the Magic Mouse to work in Win 7 x64 (Boot Camp). However, after rebooting it no longer worked. I have downloaded the drivers listed on Apple's website and did the extract 64 bit version. I am using Boot Camp 3.0, so "Generic Bluetooth" is not listed in the Device Manager... only the correct Apple Bluetooth Radio is listed. The steps I went through to get the Magic Mouse up and running the first time are kind of a blur, but I believe they went something like this:
1. Uninstalled Magic Mouse and Apple Bluetooth drivers from Device Manager
2. Let Windows find new hardware and reinstall
3. Chose to search for Bluetooth devices > Right Clicked Magic Mouse > Checked HID Mouse (or something similar) in Services tab
4. Windows installed drivers and mouse worked. Magic Mouse was listed as Bluetooth HID instead of Apple Wireless Mouse (which I've seen before)
Tested this configuration out and everything seemed to be working great. However, I rebooted my system, ensured I didn't have any issues in Mac OS X (which I didn't) then booted back into Windows. At this point, the mouse no longer worked. I noticed in the Device Manager that there were 2x Bluetooth HIDs listed instead of the one I saw earlier. When I displayed the Bluetooth devices, the Magic Mouse was listed with a yellow exclamation point. I attempted to disable each and reboot to see if one was conflicting with the other, but it did not resolve the issue. Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to get this mouse working?

Just to update... I can now add the mouse each time I load up Windows. I just need to uninstall any Bluetooth HIDs located in the Device Manager and remove the mouse from the list of bluetooth devices. However, each time I reboot into Windows, the first thing that happens is it install another Bluetooth HID. During the login screen the mouse is unresponsive and when going into the device manager after a reboot there is always two of the same Bluetooth HIDs listed. This seems to be the problem during the startup but how do I stop Windows from installing the same device twice?
I have also attempted to install the 64bit drivers supplied on the website and the mouse changes from Bluetooth HID to Apple Wireless Mouse. Once it finishes installing, the mouse no longer works. I have to repeat the steps and uninstall the Apple drivers to get it to work again

Copying large files problem in windows 7 x64 professional

Hi!
I'm new to this forum and I recently installed windows 7 professional without too much trouble in my pc. The only thigs that doesn't work are the quicklaunch buttons (which I'm expecting HP to release it until october 22). The system is functioning ok, but I discovered a very serious problem when tranferring large size files (copy or move function) to an external source (in my case a external HD: model Western Digital My book 1 TB connected via USB).
When I try to move a file that is larger than 1 GB the system during the process gets slower and slower rendering my system useless unless I cancel the process and restart. This only happens when moving files from my notebook to my HD.
I've been doing my homework and I checked microsoft technet forums, here's what I found:
1.It seems a lot of people have this problem, in particullar the ones with an asus motherboard (which I know this isn't the case). But in my case since I don't know which motherboard my notebook has, I can't come up with a solution to this problem.
2. It seems to be a particullar problem with the 64 version of windows.
3. The users claim that the problem was solved when they upgraded the chipset, which I somehow tried but with the current vista drivers, but the problem wasn't solved.
4. Some users claim that by using other software like teracopy or grant full permission control seems like a workaround to this, but no in my case. It doesn't work.
5. With sisoft sandra I managed to get my motherboard from this notebook but with no luck finding information or upgrades to a Quanta motherboard.
Here are my system specs (link to the HP site describing it):
Model: HP pavilion 6950la

Windows 7 professional x64
I'm worried about this and it seems weird to me that no one who has tried windows 7 professional x64 has mentioned this in the forum (or even mentioning it), because I think this is a really serious issue and I would like to make sure it gets known and hopefully solved during these days. I really don't want ot get back to vista just for this. And I hope my post will be useful to the HP people so they can get around this problem.
Thankd in advance, will wait for your answers.

Please repost your inquiry in the Microsoft Windows 7 Performance Forum.
Thank you!

TestStand Deployment problems on Windows 2K3 x64

Greeings:
I'm hoping someone out there can advise me.
I recently tried building a TS application to deploy on a server running WIndows Server 2003 x64, and I have run into a few difficulties. On my development system, (32-bit WInXP pro) I built a TS Deployment installer. I transfered it to the destination machine. Installation failed ... it said that numerous files were missing from different CAB files. I tried again ... the second time I had better luck ... the installation seemed to take. Using the License Manager, I activated my installation using my development license (my deployment license hasn't arrived yet). I tried launching my application, and I get an exception that seems to indicate the ActiveX dlls aren't registered:
Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): C
lass not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.CoCreateInstance(Guid& clsid, Obj
ect punkOuter, Int32 context, Guid& iid)
I tried registering these manually using
regsvr32 "D:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.1\API\DotNet\Assemblies\CurrentVersion\NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.UI.AxControls.dll"
but it complains that this DLL has no DllRegisterServer entry point. (Is it the wrong DLL to register?)
I tried uninstalling my deployment and installing the full teststand ... and SeqEdit seems to run properly. (It must have registered the required DLLs, no?) My app, on the other hand, still does not run. I am trying to install Visual Studio to see if I can rebuild the application on this system with better results.
Have I missed an important step?
Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

LabCat,
That's correct. If you have the build set as Any Platform, when you install that on a 64-bit machine, the project will try to load the 64-bit versions of those assemblies, which don't exist. You have to make sure your project is building specifically for x86 so it will run properly on a 64-bit machine. I believe TestStand 4.2 or 4.2.1 ships with OIs that have this set as the default setting in the .NET OI source code, but your earlier version may not have had that corrected.

CHKDSK fails on fresh install of Windows 7 x64 on mid-2009 MBP with SSD

There was an earlier post about this that has been archived prematurely that I will reproduce below. The main issue is a flaw in the Windows 7 x64 CHKDSK of the SSD drive in the mid-2009 MBP= 5,2. With fresh OSX installs, bootcamp 3.1, Windows 7 x64 all updates, the CHKDSK operation checks files at about 1 per second in stage 4 of 5, verifying file data.
Moderators: please leave this open until it is actually resolved.

Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 2, 2009 6:45 AM
Hello, I have been having filesystem problems on my Windows 7 partition since the HDD related firmware update (the latest Performance update) was released and installed onto this mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
The HDD is a 500 GB 7200 RPM model, but it never gave me any troubles under OS X before the "fix" and I know other users had intermittent problems with the HDD on their MacBook Pro's related to the HDD making noises and pausing.
The fix was released, I installed it and I started seeing my first problem in Windows 7 x64 a few days after... I cleanly shut the OS down, but when I booted it back it asked me to perform a coherency check to the Filesystem... I thought that the problem was related to the fact that I was using the RC1 build of Windows 7... although that problem never manifested itself in the weeks before the Performance Update (HDD firmware fix) was installed and Windows 7 x64 RC1 had been on there and used frequently.
I recently purchased Windows 7 retail a few days ago and after a bit of trouble-free operation I started having problems again... always shutting the PC down carefully and I was asked to run the CHKDSK utility at boot twice already.
What to do?

Hi there,
I have a different experience. I installed Windows 7 before the "performance update 1.0" came out. I actually experienced the chkdsk launch problem with Windows 7. I had done repartitioning and clean-install several times but cannot solve the problem. So I tried to install XP and Vista on my MBA (Mid 2009 with SSD) and found that these two OS doesn't introduce such problem.
To be honest, I'm not sure which caused such problem, Windows 7, a bootcamp driver, or EFI. But I'm sure that CHKDSK in Windows 7 has an obvious bug that needs to be patched (memory leak and maybe this problem as well). So now I'm using Windows Vista SP2. And I'm happy with Vista SP2 (seems to become faster and stable now).
Cheer,
